Guptill was not thinking about ODI record

New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill said he wasn't thinking about the record of scoring the fastest fifty in ODI cricket while he was smashing the Sri Lanka bowlers in the second ODI in Christchurch on Monday.

The right-handed Guptill bludgeoned 93 off just 30 balls as the Black Caps cantered to a 10-wicket victory over the Asian side at the Hagley Oval to go two-nil up in the five-match series.

Guptill brought up his half-ton off just 17 balls, one ball shy of the world record held by South Africa’s AB de Villiers, but he never knew about the record while hitting the ball to all corners of ground.
